AT&T will be making a second car part of its AT&T Mobile Share
family data plan. The 2015 Audi Q3
crossover vehicle will use HSPA and wireless connections and the 2015 A3 sedan
will get the 4G LTE service.
AT&T opened up a lab in Atlanta for the development of connected
cars, called AT&T Drive Studio, and has signed on big name companies such
as General Motors, Audi, and Tesla.
Also, AccuWeather, Glympse, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Streeline with the
Parker app, and Tribune Digital Ventures agreed to develop their car apps
through the Drive platform.
AT&T is expanding into new areas because it’s most recent source of
growth, Smartphone plans, have started to slow since so many consumers already
have a Smartphone. The company is
looking into the digital home, connected cars, and tablets, among other items
for a new source of revenue.
